Three multi-talented poets performing an organic event as they play off each other's readings.
Agenda

🕑: 02:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Free Event, tickets not required.
Host: Indiana Writers Center

Info: Curtis L. Crisler, Indiana Poet Laureate, created the Chitlin Circuit. The term “chitlin circuit” refers to a historical, segregation-era network of safe performance venues for Black musicians, comedians, and entertainers during the Jim Crow era. It is a current, dynamic, modern literary event.
The event, sponsored by the Indiana Writers Center, is organic and no one really knows what is going to happen.
--- The first set is 20 minutes, where three poets feed off what the first poet reads.
--- The second set, each poet reads ten minutes of their own poetry.
--- The third set the poets read each line of a poem until the last line, which all read together.
There will be two intermissions between sets and food and music are included.
